2013 Mugello Moto2 Qualifying Results
Moto2 championship leader Scott Redding will start on pole position for the Gran Premio d’Italia TIM at Mugello.
The Marc VDS Racing Team rider will share Sunday’s front row with Italtrans Racing Team’s Takaaki Nakagami and Desguaces La Torre SAG’s Marcel Schrotter, who achieved a career-best qualifying result.
Englishman Redding sealed the top spot – and his second pole, after Texas – with a best effort of 1:52.958, edging out Japan’s Nakagami, who maintains his 100-percent front row record for 2013.
The German Schrotter was highly pleased with third position, having first contested a World Championship race in the 125cc class in 2008.
Row 2 will be made up of Johann Zarco, Nico Terol and Esteve Rabat for Came IodaRacing Project, Mapfre Aspar Team Moto2 and Tuenti HP 40 respectively, but there was much frustration for Rabat’s teammate Pol Espargaro who had topped final practice but at the end of qualifying was bumped right down to 10th place.
Desguaces La Torre Maptaq’s Xavier Simeon lines up behind Rabat in seventh, ahead of NGM Mobile Forward Racing’s Alex de Angelis in eighth, and Mapfre Aspar Team Moto2’s Jordi Torres in ninth. There was a double fall during this session for Mattia Pasini and Louis Rossi, leaving the NGM Mobile Racing and Tech 3 riders 19th and 24th quickest.
